wsdeploy command

Use the wsdeploy command to add WebSphere product-specific deployment classes to a web services-compatible enterprise application enterprise archive (EAR) file or an application client Java archive (JAR) file.

The wsdeploy command is supported by JAX-RPC applications. The JAX-WS programming model implemented by the application server does not support the wsdeploy command. If our web services application contains only JAX-WS endpoints, we do not need to run the wsdeploy command, as this command is used to process only JAX-RPC endpoints.

The deployment classes that are added by the wsdeploy tool to a web services-compatible EAR file or a JAR file include:

This deployment step must be performed at least once, and can be performed more often. Deployment can be performed separately using the wsdeploy command, assembly tools, or when the application is installed. When using the wsadmin command for installation, specify the -deployws option.

The wsdeploy command operates as noted in the following list:

See the WSDL2Java command for JAX-RPC applications command information to learn more about the files generated for deployment.

When the generated files are compiled, they can reference application-specific classes outside the EAR or JAR file, if the EAR or JAR file is not self-contained. In this case, use either the -jardir or -cp option to specify additional JAR or compressed files to be added to CLASSPATH variable when the generated files are compiled.
